Review of The Sword of Doom (1966) by Bastet 0 — 22 Feb 2009
I didn't quite enjoy this. A lot is built up to convince you this samurai is evil, when really, he was just a jerk and killed people that attacked him. Towards the end he was truly crazy and then ending was plain ridiculous- him killing guy after guy for about 5 minutes straight- no joke.
You get to the point where you think "this is still going on?" I was pretty disappointed for a movie that is built up to be a Japanese masterpiece. the film work was, the story, not so much.
It's a shame it the anticlimatic ending was slopped together since it was building for something better.
